[OnBaseMachine]

Billings scored a run in the first inning. Bow led off with a strikeout. Billy Hamilton tripled, then scored on a RBI groundout by Yorman Rodriguez. Lutz singled and Duran K'd.

1-0 Billings after one inning.

[Edd Roush]

Hamilton with a triple to start his year and later scores. I really hope I get to type that a lot this year.

[11larkin11]

Boy, with Duran, Hamilton, Y-Rod, Barnhart, as well as Berset and Lohman, Billings may be my new favorite team to follow.

Throw in Tzu-Kai Chu, Daniel Tuttle, Tyler Cline, Jesus Adames, Daniel Corcino, and Clayton Shunick, the pitching ain't half bad either.

Can't wait to see what Mendez can do at a higher level

He is a really good hitter

A really good hitter? The guy is nice to have in the system, but he isn't a "really good hitter". He is a single hitter who plays a corner position.

Billings is now winning 8-1 after four innings.

Yorman is now 2-for-3 with 2 RBI.

The AZL Reds/AZL Dodgers game is a battle of rehabbing pitchers. Daryl Thompson is starting for the AZL Reds while big leaguer Cory Wade is starting for the Dodgers. The Reds are winning 2-0 after Junior Arias was HBP, scored on a Juan Silva RBI triple who then scored on a Dominic D'Anna RBI single.

So where is Gary Mathews going to start out this year?

Maybe they are going to try to get Felix out of the dominican leagues by using Mathews Passport.
